Forum Rules

Forum Rules
1) No spamming. Spam is a very short sentence. IE: "I agree", or "ok", or just posting an emoticon as your whole post is unacceptable. Also, try to have decent grammer and spelling. Just make it readable. If anyone is caught repeatedly spamming, their posting abilities will be removed. No exeptions. The following types of topics are also considered to be spam: Word game topics: These topics are just spam and increase your post count very quickly. The only two that are allowed to stay are Word Association and Caption the Avatar. If a word game topic is started, it will be locked and the member who started it may be given a warning. vs. topics: Ex: Sonic vs. Shadow, Knuckles Vs. Ryu , Amy Rose vs Pebbles Flinstone (yes, those are all real topics). These topics are just pointless and will ultimately end in spam. If a vs. topic is started, it will be locked and the member who started it may be given a warning. 2) No double posting. The edit button is there for a reason. 3) No flaming. Saying something or someone sucks constitutes flaming. HOWEVER, stating your opinion is acceptable. IE: "I don't like this because...". That is ok, just don't insult something or put someone down because they like/dislike something. 4) Stay on topic. If the topic is "Sonic Heroes" don't post about your school. If a topic gets too off-topic, I will be forced to close it. 5) There will be no posting of illegal software, warez, hentai or porn. Any post relating to this will IMMEDIATELY be trashed. 6) Any topic found to be racist, sexist or discriminatory will immediatly be closed. 7) No advertising your web site. This includes but is not limited to: topics, PMs, and emails. Advertising other web pages and forums is allowed in your signature ONLY. Any topic found to be advertising a web site will be trashed. However, posting a link to a web site to show someone something is ok. If a member is found to be repeatedly starting advertising topics, they will be given a warning. 8) Do NOT, under any circumstances, create multiple accounts. Creating more accounts to avoid banning, validation or warnings is a severe violation of the rules and will get you banned permanently. 9) If a topic appears to be breaking one of the above rules, please do not post in it. Instead, use the report button. This will alert a moderator of the topic that the topic needs to be moved, closed, etc. Posting things like "This topic needs to be locked" does no good, and is considered spam. Also, no not abuse the report system. And do not use the report system to talk to the moderators. Andyone who is wound to be abusing the report system will be given a severe punishment. 10) Any topic containing pornographic or otherwise quesionable material must have a warning either in the topic title, or the description. The questionable image must be a link only, not embedded using [img] tags. Any user viewing said topic must be over 18 years of age. Also, please use the [mature] BBCode tag to hide any links to mature images or sites. All rules are in effect in all boards unless otherwise noted. Follow these simple rules and everything will be fine. If a rule is continuously broken, a warning may be issued. For each offence, you will recieve a 20% warning. Once you reach 100%, you will be suspended for a period of time. That time will depend on the severity of your offences. If, after the suspension, you still cannot behave, then I will have no choice but to ban you. Please don't feel like the staff is out to get you. We're not. We want this forum to be as enjoyable as possible, and the only way to do that is to keep spammers and rule-breakers out. We are only trying to make the forum more enjoyable for all the members who want to post intelligently and follow the rules. Thanks and have fun, Blinding
